The accommodation: your comments

Rooms for improvement

YOU'RE
COMING to Edinburgh to perform, not to have a luxury holiday, but
there's no escaping the fact that where you stay – and how much it costs
– will have an impact on how comfortable you are and, in turn, how
smoothly your show goes.

This chapter of The Edinburgh Fringe Survival Guide
rounds up the kind of property that is available and the best way you
can go about getting somewhere that suits you and your fellow company
members.

Contributing tips to this chapter are Fringe experts including comedian Nick Doody, director Renny Krupinski and producer Chris Grady, as well as letting agent Chris Boisseau.

If any readers are planning their visit to the Fringe Festival this year, I'd recommend booking your Edinburgh Fringe Festival accommodation as early as you can because places get full surprisingly quickly! You certainly don't want to get caught out last minute!
